01
From file to profile in seconds.
Contact details, work history, education and skills are pulled out and saved to the candidate record.
Good company. Great recruiting teams.
Two jobs for AI: reading CVs and drafting emails
Longlist uses AI for two repetitive tasks, reading CVs and drafting outreach. Screening and shortlisting stay with the recruiter, so you spend more of the week talking to candidates and clients.
LESS FRICTION. MORE MOMENTUM.
What AI does in Longlist
Practical AI built into your recruitment CRM, with no separate tool to learn.
01
AI CV parsing, unlimited
Name, emails, phone numbers, LinkedIn URL, location, work history, education and skills are extracted from every CV. Included on every plan with no per-CV charge. See the resume parser.
02
Scanned and Word CVs too
PDFs, Word documents and scanned CVs are all read. Scanned files go through text recognition first, so image-only CVs still become searchable profiles.
03
Applicants parsed automatically
CVs that arrive through your careers page are parsed on arrival, so new applicants are searchable straight away.
04
AI-drafted outreach emails (beta)
Choose a tone (engaging, formal, casual or persuasive) and a length. AI drafts a personal email from the candidate’s experience and the job title. Review it, edit it, then send.
PUT IT INTO PRACTICE
From CV to first conversation
How AI fits into a normal day on the desk.
- 01
Add the CV
Upload it to the candidate record, drop in a batch, or let it arrive with an application.
- 02
AI builds the profile
Contact details, experience and skills land on the record. Duplicates are flagged by email and LinkedIn URL.
- 03
Find them when it matters
Search your recruiting database by keyword, skill, title or tag, and build the shortlist.
- 04
Draft the first email with AI
Pick a tone and length, get a draft, then make it yours before it goes out.
- 05
Let the follow-ups run
Email sequences send the follow-ups from your mailbox and stop when they reply.
AI limits: no screening, ranking or auto-send
Longlist doesn’t screen candidates out or rank them for you, and AI drafts are never sent without a recruiter reviewing them. There are no autonomous AI agents, call recording or meeting notetakers. If those are central to your process, compare tools that specialise in them.

Is AI CV parsing included in every plan?
Yes. CV parsing is included on every Longlist plan, with no per-CV charges or credits. Compare plans.
What does the AI extract from a CV?
Name, email addresses, phone numbers, LinkedIn URL, location, work history, education and skills. You can review and edit everything on the candidate record.
Does Longlist use AI to screen or rank candidates?
No. You decide who goes on the shortlist. Search and filters help you find people; AI doesn’t make the decision for you.
Are AI-drafted emails sent automatically?
No. AI writes a draft for you to review and edit. Nothing is sent until you choose to send it.
Does Longlist record or transcribe calls?
No. Calls on the Plus plan are logged with their direction, status and duration, but they are not recorded or transcribed.
